sony officially launches the festivities of Summer Game Fest this year with his State of Play, at least for the ball of big shows to follow live, despite the fact that the opening conference of the event will only take place on June 9th. But the manufacturer decided that this presentation would above all highlight titles from third-party publishers, as well as a first glimpse of the games of the PlayStation VR 2, leaving PlayStation Studios a bit aside. But that wasn’t quite the case in the end, since the show had some surprises in store. Here’s the full State of Play summary for June 2.
Resident Evil 4 Remake and PS VR 2 get the ball rolling
It must be said that the presentation started very strongly with the formalization of Resident Evil 4 Remake, which showed its first images. It was an open secret, but Capcom has finally confirmed that the title will arrive on March 24, 2023, and not only on PS5, since the game will also be released on PC and Xbox Series on the same date..
We can also find this remake via PS VR 2, since the publisher confirms that virtual reality content is also in development. What exactly, we don’t know, and we’ll probably have to wait for the full PS VR 2 presentation to find out.
Because yes, don’t wait for a release date for the virtual reality headset heresince Sony was simply content to show us a few games.
As Resident Evil Villagewhich will be entitled to its PS VR 2 support, or even No Man’s Skywhich will also be playable with Sony headphones.
As for new titles, we will find The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners Chapter 2 – Retributionwhich will take up the basics of the first part by adding new scenery, more elaborate animations and new weapons, as well as a silencer to add to them.
Planned release in 2022 on the PS VR, while it will be necessary to wait until 2023 for the PS VR 2 version.
The last big headphone-related piece was the new trailer for Horizon: Call of the Mountain, which will be a new adventure where we will control the character of Ryas. Between climbing and fighting against machines, the title seems to bring together all the ingredients of the license, and we can even meet Aloy there. Guaranteed sensations, even if we have no date to put in our mouths.
And just to end Horizon, Forbidden West was entitled to a passage to announce the availability of its latest updatewhich adds a new difficulty mode and a New Game+, among other things.
We thought we wouldn’t see PlayStation Studios games here, but in addition to Horizon Forbidden WestGames Marvel’s Spider-Man already released were also there to announce great news: their arrival on PC.
Of the on August 12, you will be able to find Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on pcwhile we will have to wait autumn current to discover Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on our machines.
Third-party publisher games from all walks of life
After the spider, make way for the little cat with straywho came to show a new trailer and announce that it would arrive on July 19 on PC, PS4 and PS5. And a significant bonus, it will be directly included in PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium from the day of its release!
The Callisto Protocol did not wait for the Summer Game Fest ceremony and came to show us its first phases of gameplay. No doubt, we are in the vein of a dead space here, which promises some scary and very gory sequences.
Good news, we will be able to discover all this this year, since the release is scheduled for December 2 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
On the side of slightly less expensive productions, we were able to discover two amazing titles, starting with rollerdromemade by the studio behind OlliOlli Worldwhich returns with a slightly bloodier roller-skating game and a colorful artistic direction.
Between tricks and bullets in the head, the title gives us an appointment for the August 16 on PC, PS4 and PS5.
Eternals also makes the choice of an amazing mix by combining action game and dating sim. Between two fights in dungeons and the search for food, we may therefore be entitled to some sequences of romance in this game unlike any other, which will be released on PC, PS4 and PS5 in early 2023knowing that it is a temporary console exclusive.
Capcom really did not come empty handed since in addition to Resident Evil 4 Remake, street fighter 6 showed its first gameplay footage. And there is no doubt that these images will speak as the direction taken by this episode promises to change habits.
In particular, we can see that in the scripted mode, which will feature Luke, we can walk with it in open areas looking for fighters in the street (just to take the name of the game literally).
We also discover the character of Jamie, as well as the new look of Chun-Li and Ryu. No specific date revealed, but the game will be released in 2023 on PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series.
Before moving on to the big final piece, Tunic came to confirm its release date on PlayStation consoles for September 27before Season: A letter to the future reappears. This narrative game will take us on a journey with our bike and our camera from this fall 2022 on PS4, PS5 and PC.
And the icing on the cake is good Final Fantasy XVI ! We dared to hope more, but the title of Square Enix concluded the show with an epic trailer, centered on the Eikons, in other words the invocations.
We could see a lot of gameplay sequences, with very dynamic fights and even clashes between Eikons, all in an atmosphere that seems to be much more mature than the previous episodes.
Unfortunately, we will have to wait to find out since Final Fantasy XVI won’t be released until summer 2023. But a priori, no delay to be expected, because the game is well finished and playable from start to finishwhich means that the team will spend all these next months improving the title and fixing all the bugs to make a copy as clean as possible.
A State of Play who therefore had some pretty cartridges to show us, and who is effectively launching the season of announcements. We would probably have liked to know the release date of PS VR 2, but it is difficult to ignore our pleasure with the presentations of certain titles, such as Resident Evil 4 Remake Where Final Fantasy XVI.
